How do your products and
service offerings benefit
your clients?
With the growth in cyberattacks and
data breaches costing millions every
year to the business and public
sector, cybersecurity is now high
on the strategic agenda. By putting
proper cybersecurity assessments
and audits in place, organisations
can define the right strategy and
transformation program to protect
their sensitive data and assets. This
demand for speed leaves many
organisations feeling that there
is not enough time to spend on
security, which increases the risk to
their critical business applications.
Secure Application experts
have unmatched experience in
application/mobile security in
general and testing specifically.
Every test we execute is reviewed by
a security expert that analyzes the
results, reduces any false positives,
and provides remediation guidance.
In all but our most basic automated
scan, a security expert will call your
team to review the test and discuss
the remediation guidance to help
them fix what we find. Our core
security services includes:
• A smooth transition from
internal to external security
teams
• Develop a security roadmap
unique to your organization

How do you amalgamate
latest technology with your
business objectives?
Today, more than ever, successful
technology executives must help
their executive clients understand
how technology fits into — or, even
better, power in their business.
CFOs are typically attracted to lower
up-front costs and the ability to
pay only for what you use. CMOs
are typically looking to keep the
company’s brand fresh and respond
to changing market conditions.
Secure Application is part of
making this shift, but most of the
hard work at the executive level
revolved around understanding
each executive’s pain points, what
they wanted to get out of cyber
security, and aligning technology to
help them meet their goals. Our new
services include IoT security testing,
mobile application security testing,
cloud security consulting, and cyber
security consulting. In addition, we
are currently focusing more on the
BFSI sector and ecommerce portals
which deal with customer credit
card data.

factors that differentiate you
